Strictly 2025

[disneyteletubby]

I saw it on the news first kind of end of an era, but there may be several good replacements.
Claudia is still present as a presenter, of course

Of the names mentioned, I somehow see Alan Carr and AJ Odudu most likely.

Spoiler: disneyteletubby's somewhat unlikely favoured choices for presenters

Enya and Susan Calman

 

[Shoat]

I was honestly expecting a nomination for Roma Ryan

 

[disneyteletubby]

The Pride of Britain awards on reminded me of Carol Vorderman.

Apparently she was on Strictly for its 2nd series in 2004 (I was too young to remember) and was second to be eliminated

 

[FetchFugly]

I am afraid that AJ Odudu's presenting on Big Brother does not speak to her suitability for the Strictly gig.

 

[Rita]

HOLLY WILLOUGHBY is the front runner at the moment….

 

[ZenGiraffe]

HOLLY WILLOUGHBY is the front runner at the moment….

Only if she starts her first episode

"First of all, are you ok?"

 

[Rita]

Pity THE SCHOFE was found out or he could have co presented with her like the Dancing On Ice days.

 

[straightorbroken]

No Michelle please. She doesn't have the range.

 

[FetchFugly]

Holly is from the failed lower rent rival (and feels a bit close to Tess). I would hope they steer clear.

I don't know who I do want, but there is a growing list of who I don't

 

[Ellie]

Imagine if Paul O’Grady was still with us. He’d have been perfect

 

[Rita]

Roman Kemp seems to be a bit of a BBC darling at the moment.

 

[Rita]

I do think Alan Carr would be a good fit you know. Amanda Holden possibly?

 

[Ellie]

Craig looks more like Janis Joplin than John Lennon.

 

[Ellie]

Once again the comments do not match the scores and they’ve overmarked Lewis.

 

[FetchFugly]

I was surprised at Craig especially going with a 9 for Lewis. It didn't feel like it was as strong as his last couple of weeks.

A Rumba was always going to be sticky for Karen but it was better than I feared.

 

[FetchFugly]

The restraint the judges showed with their scores in the early weeks is a distant memory now.

 

[straightorbroken]

Just started. A Think Twice without the No! No! No! No!?

Vicky as Cheryl Cole. Anyone would think she's from Newcastle. She's never said.

 

[Ellie]

In what world is Cheryl an icon?

Loved Alex’s Foxtrot!

 

[FetchFugly]

Alex the most enjoyable so far. I thought Shirley was going to mark her down after she babbled on about the footwork but pleased she didn't.

 

[Ellie]

What’s a strange song to do a Jive to.

 

[FetchFugly]

That didn't suit George at all, but the song did not help.

 

[straightorbroken]

Loving the ungainly Spice Girls medley. Ellie did well on those lifts and spins, but maybe her transitions were merely matching the musical ones.

 

[Ellie]

The same for Lewis, Ring of Fire was probably the only well known Johnny Cash song to do a Quickstep to, but it was still a bit weird. Maybe they don’t have a choice whether to switch up the order of their dances.

 

[straightorbroken]

Ooooh. Spotted the ER with a walking stick woman in the audience for Queen Alex.

 

[FetchFugly]

Well I (mainly) hate a couple's choice.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Kai in a mesh top.

 

[Ellie]

Finding it a little bit difficult to believe that Beyonce is truly Balvinder’s favourite music icon.

 

[disneyteletubby]

I liked that, and hadn't seen Cheryl for ages before the video haha. Not sure about icon but it makes sense for Vicky, and of course Cheryl had heard of her

 

[disneyteletubby]

I am voting thrice for Balvinder and Julian this week

 

[FetchFugly]

I think Balvinder's in trouble again.

 

[FetchFugly]

La Voix's live audition

 

[FetchFugly]

Agree with Craig, that AT felt like a mismatch of styles.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

La Voix's live audition

Wonderful

 

[disneyteletubby]

Développé is a ballet thing I remember, and with skinny legs like Amber 'Grande' it'll always look elegant for ballet

 

[FetchFugly]

Poor Jimmy must have upset someone in the costume department.

 

[Ellie]

Vicky and Lewis being Top 2 is ridiculous.

 

[FetchFugly]

All those ties on the leaderboard. It will be much easier for someone in the top half to drop down.

 

[Music]

Unfortunately I think Balvinder will be bottom 2 again due to the leaderboard having a lot of ties and I don't think she's got the public onside.

Looks as though it's not going to be a non elimination so I assume there will be one less in the final.

 

[disneyteletubby]

La Voix's closing the show was fun, much better than last week, and singing Believe

 

[Ellie]

Predicting a Balvinder and Ellie bottom 2.
